Linked with moves to Liverpool and Chelsea in the past, Guardiola is keen to throw his hat in the ring to bring the international ‘keeper to the Etihad.

It’s unclear how good Handanovic is on the ball, with just 20.5 passes per game, but his ability between the posts outweighs anything he can do with his feet.

Linked with a summer move to Arsenal, if Pep is looking younger, the Frenchman, tipped to be France’s No.1 whenever Hugo Lloris steps aside, would be the perfect fit.

With superb agility, a huge frame and reflexes to match Europe’s best.

He kept two clean sheets against PSG this term, something rarely managed.

Impressive in both games, the 18-year-old is more used to making long passes, but as he used to be a midfielder, he should be able to adapt.

He’s not been one of the best shot-stoppers in Serie A this term, just five clean sheets compared to Handanovic’s nine and Wojciech Szczesny with 11, but he’s made 64 saves and helped the Turin side chase for a Europa League spot.

Torino know they won’t be able to hold on to him, but are just going to enjoy him being there.

Torino president Urbano Cairo told La Stampa: “We will enjoy Hart and cuddle him, but we know he is not our player and his wages are not accessible for us.

“We will see what we are going to do in June.”

It may take some huge guts for City’s Spanish coach to admit that Hart is a better option than what he already has at the club, but if he fails to land one of his top targets, Hart could still return as their No.1
